Gen. Wm. H. Koontz.
A great effort is being made by the Border
Ruffian Laeofoces of this district to defeat our
candidate for Senator. We hope our American
Republican &Muds will not be deceWed by our
wily foe. Our candiante Gen. Koontz, is a
man, every inch of him, and such a man as the
people delight to honor. From his infancy be
has had to combat single handed with the world
and by a life of sober, untiring perseverance
and industry he h., step by step, won for him
self a position which is indeed a noble one, He '
does not stand before the people as the candi
date of the monied interest, or of speculators,
as does his opponent Schell. He will be the
presentative of the whole people, not of a fat.
Lion or clique, GO. Koontz's election is a cer
tainty, it is unavoidable. Somerset, his native
county, will, at the lowest calculation, give him
700 majority. Bedford will increase this to
1000, and old Huntingdon will, we feel assurrd
from indications, increase it to 1500. This, we
are satisfied, will be the result of the contest
for Smut. in this district. The majority fur
Oen. Koontz may reach 1000, but cannot, we
are very certain, be less than 1500.
Spurious Tickets;
We cau ti on our friends against spurious tick.
ots. Don't be deceived. There will be those
who will try to deceive you into a support of
Wharton or Houtz by giving you spurious tick;
ets, as they have done before ; therefore before
you vote
Examine Your Ticket.
See that it reads as it stands nder our editorial
head. Doe't permit your milt hbors to be de

The Railroad Agents,
who will be in every district in the County the
day of election. They are in the pay of the
Railroad Compact!, and will use every means
to elect Wharton'or kloutz, and defeat Evans.
Beware of Fraudulent Votes!

Friends, be Vigilant!

of his election, on the success of their plans to
READ t + oz
ate t + atu + t dentine the people. There is no well-informed
man among them who does not fully understand
A. W. Evans' Affidavit. • that there is no chance of his election, unless
through the means adopted by the Locofocos
'Wharton a Locofoco Tool. in Philadelphia, last WI. The policy 110 W
agreed upon by the more knowing ones aiming
them, appears to ho simply this: to use his
nomination to secure the election of Haute
nod the defeat of Evans. We suppose we may
safely assume, that with two-thirds of 'Whar
ton's adherents fit least, the election of Houtz
would be prctertibfe to the election of Evans.
Practically, too, the contest in our opinion, as
well as many others, is between Evans and
Houtz. With this true state of affairs before
the voters of Huntingdon eounty, bow can any
consistent American Republican support Col.
Wharton, or how can any voter be so blind as
not to petecive that by voting for him he but
throws away his vote. It has been well said
I that none of us know
"To what base uses we may come at last!'
But will the holiest opponents of Leedom
ism in Hunting.' county know/t/0 submit
to the schemes of political desperadoes to im
pose upon them? Will they after the repeated
warnings we have given them, quietly suffer
themselves to become the dupes of political
pirate's and speculators? If there is any of
that pure republican blood left in the veins of
our fellow-citizens, we feel confident they will
repudiate the candidates thrust upon them by
illegal and outrageous means, and support in
Levi Evans, an honest man and uncompromi
sing enemy to fraud.
That the nomiliation of Wharton .d Metz
was a deep and well-planned scheme on the
part of certain Locofoco speculators c and un
principled political desperadoes inthis botonyli,
to secure the election of tools with which they
could work through the Legislature, upon the
Treasury of our Commonwealth, and defraud
the pecple, cannot be doubted. The fads are
too evident. It has been proven, by the state
ment of the President of the Convention which
nominated Wharton, that his nomination was
the result of Lueoffico intrigue, and that he had
, pledged himself to support the plundering
schemes of certain Locofoco speculators in this
I borough, in consideration thereof. So likewise
is it proven that the nomination of Houtz was
a mean Locofoco plan to secure the certain
election of au individual who would be 'Tatty"
in the hands of these speculators. For, has it
net been satisfactorily proven that Dr. Houtz
was brought out, us "their weakest man," to
give a clear field to his opponent. These are
facts, us no one will deny with the evidence be
fore hint under the signature of the President
uf the Convention to which Mr. Wharton owes
his nomination. Mr. Wharton and Mr. Houtz
stand opou precisely the sante platform. They
dtq
enee of men and money of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. To prove ihk, we have
'out to refer to Pol. Wharton's own testimony.
Ho acknowledges that he was in letirue with
certain Locofoco leaders iu this town, that he
had pledged himself to carry out their vie‘vC if
elected, and in consideration of which be was
to hove the weakest manila the Democratic par
ty fin his opponent. But in the nomination of
Dr. Ikutz, we have another example of the
foxlike cunning of John P. Should Col. Whar
ton fail to be elected. he has as pliant a tool in
the Dr., and one which will answer his purpose
full as well. Ca IVharton is pledged to vote
Mr the repeal (!f . the three mill laz So is Dr.
Houtz. Col. Wharton is pledged to vote fur
an appropriation of three millions of dollars to
the Sunbury & Erie Railroad. So is Dr. Houtz.
Cul. Wharton is pledged to procure the enact:
meut of certali private bills, for the benefit of
his Locative) friends, which 4111 be of serious
injury to the people. So is Dr. Houtz. On the
other hand, what rule of action does Liwt
Evsxs lay down fur his guide if elected ? The
letter we publish un the outside of this paper,
will, we have no doubt, meet the hearty appro

after gratifying mo with the intelligence that
he was "Devil Asa," proposed to east his vote,
together with others over to/tone he had control,
for Levi Evans, provided I supported a Mr
White fur Register and Recorder. 1 replied
that it was expected of me by my constituents

Ihad not known that Mr. White was a eauli.

than I did, but he had no strength in our part
of the county, and asked hen how he expected
to get those - 1000 Democratic votes. After en
; joining me to Niet secrecy, until the Conven

understood between hint and the Democrats that
if HE was 'nominated, they would bring out a
I WEAK AND UNPOPULAR MAN, and the
i nfluential portion if that party would support
hint; that they would control,. the, Convention
which assembled next day, (the Locofoce Con

I strong supporters in that party was a Mr. John
Anders., who he said, was a Democrat, and
that the convention would follow his load. He
said that Mr. Anderson wanted some Legisla

the THREE MILL TAX particularly; that

There it is Fellow•Ciitizons, in black and

est men; will you endorse such conduct ? Can
you as consistent members of tho American,
Republican, or Democratic parties 7 Can you
as men of principle? Can you as men of hon
or, uprightness and stern integrity P If you
do, well may we bid farewell to all wisdom and
ream and justice in our county.
To Honest Democrats.
Honest Democrat, can you vote for Daniel
Houtz ? We have, time after time called upon
him to make public his views on the great is•
sues now presented fur your consideration, but
he has maintained a dogged silence. We have
charged him with being in favor of releasing
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from the
payment of the three mill tax, and of being in
favor of giving the Sunbury & Erie Railroad
three millions of dollars. These charges he has
not and dares not deny! And now, Democrats
pf Huntingdon county who honestly oppose
Ahese measures, can you vote fur a man who
acknowledges himself in favor of them ? Can
you or will you do it ? Besides this, Mr.
Houtz was nominated by certain individuals as
the weakest candidate, to secure the election of
Col. Wharton. Democrats can )on be thus ins
posed upon ? Will you permit yourselves to
become tho dupes of unprincipled speculators?
We appeal to you as honest mom end men who
have the good of your county at heart to pause
and think.

The Methodists Again.
The Huntingdon "American." and Wharton
and his other tools, are now electioneering ex
clusively on the METHODIST QUESTION
They first assert that Mr. Evans belongs to that
church denominated the Methodist, which they
say is made up of
"Desperate Creatures 1"
They are base fabricators. Whilst we ac
knowledge that Levi Evans, bf the certificate
of his pastor, which will be found in another
column, is "a coitsistent member and an efficient
Steward of the Jfethodist Church," we deny,
and defy the malicious slanderers to prove that
"THE METHODIST CHURCH IS MADE
UP OF DESIIERATE CREATURES I"
It pains us to be compelled to dwell on this
subject at this tone. Aeligion should remain
free frotn a contaminating connexion with poli
tics, but when we see opposition to the doctrines
of any religious denomination we reverence,
and snore especially when we see opposition to
the Methodist faith made the basis of political
popularity and success, and when we hear it
proclaimed by %public print, and on the cor
, tiers of our streets by a candidate for office,
that a man is unlit for office because he is a
melriber of the Methodist Church, we think we
have a rig'it to say something ; at least to as
sert that
Methodism is not a Crime.
Fellow-Citizens, of old Huntingdon County,
we are now making our last appeal to you. Do
not, for the sake of the charnel', of our good
old native county, onpose Mr. Evans on the is
sue set up by the organ of Col. Wharton—be
cause ho is a Methodist! is there (now as men
of reason and intelligence answer us candidly)
anything in the faith of old John Wesley to t ic .
Here which is criminal 1 Is no; this particu
lar church at the prciient day, as at all former
times, one of the firmest pillars of Christianity?
Has it not had its martyrs, who died for its sa
cred faith ? Has it not opposed the black
wens Iffiat back ti blo,Aly c6liLrts
or ovor,oon the powers of supersli-
lion and error, and carried the blest light of the
°mail into the darkest regions of heathendom?
What then is there, in the name of common
sense, in Methodism, to merit your disapproba-
tion ? Why should the fact that Mr. Evans is
a Methodist cause you to oppose hint Will.
`you oppose him
• •
Because he is a Methodist 7
If you'd°, ho is glad to have your opposition.
Whilst he honors and esteems those who may
oppose him on other grounds. ho has nothing,
but pity for the base-born idiots who oppose
him because of his religious creed. lie we'd ra
ther have' a proud consciousness •vitltin him of
doing right, than the•votes of ten thousand per
accut els of himself and faith. .Frcumen,• ere
we leave the mutter with you, let us entreat you
to STOP AND TIIINK.
The Slanderers Defeated,
READ THE ENDORSAL.
The editors of the Huntingdon "American," I
their masters and lenders, after vainly striving
to injure Mr. Evans' prospects by representing
him ns a member of the Methodist Church I
and after finding all such oitempts to meet with
no success, adopt new tactics and in their last
issue use the most indecent and slanderous
epithets againsthim, calling him a "drunkard,"
"gambler," mid other names which decency
will not allow us to insert here. It is a well
known fact, that these matures havens regard
whatever for the truth, and having grown des
perate over the inevitable. defeat which stares
Wharton in the face, have determined: on a
bold game of lying to defeat Mr. Evans. We
present below two articles for the attention of
the citizens of the entity ; one contains the
assertions of the "American," the other, is a
refutation of the slanders by Rev. J. F. Porter,
pastor of the congregation to which Mr. Evans
belongs, Which will you believe, fellow-citi
zens 1 You know the characters of the men I
who slander Mr. Evans. But here iv the first
article to which we allude t
Look at this Picture.
[From the Huntingdon American.]
* * * "They. [meaning this Joni:nal] are I
sounding their insignificant “bugle" for a gam
bier and a drunkard," [meaning Mr. Evans.]
"If they, [the Journal editors] have any re-
spect for honor and decency, they would not I
spend their useless hurrahs for 'Evans and
Victory'"
The above is as it appeared iu the last issue
of the. Huntingdon and was written,
as we have ample proof by one the leading
Locqfboos tg . this borough! Yes, we can as•
sure you, fellow-citizens, it is the production
of a man who is not only a gambler and a de
graded drunkard, but au infidel, a despiser of
God and sacred things, a matt whose name is
stained with crimes so thep and damning, that
the least is sollieient to consign him to a depth

through space at the end of one thousand years.
His object wan, whilst it might injure Evans,
it would likewise throw a shade of opprobrium
upon the Methodist Church, to which Mr. En
will is attached. . These assertions are too des- '
picable to merit a notice, but we give the fa.
Ilowing certificate from a Minister of the Gos.
pel, its a refutation of the slanders of the infi
del who penned the above paragraphs.
After reading the above look
Then at This.
HOPEWELL, SEPT. 25, '57.
This is to certify that Levi
Evans, Esq., is a member in
good standing on "Coalmont
Circuit." Also that he is a
"Class-Leader" and an effi
cient circuit Steward in the
Methodist Episcopal Church.
J. F. PORTER,
Preacher in Charge.
This is certainly sufficient to prove the as.
sertions of the American's writer false.
THE PEOPLE MOVING !
The Voice of "Old Tod."
Onc of the largest and most cnthusiactie
meetings ever held in Tod township, came eIF
in pealmola, on the 3d inst. It was held to
take some action in regard to the slanders dealt

But we insert the.proceedings as forwarded us

A meeting of the citizens of Tod township,
was held in Coalmont, on Saturday, the 3d

lingsgate slang, which implicates our friend
and 'neighbor, Levi Evans, Esq., in the Hun.
tiugdon American, of last week. The meeting
was largely attended by Democrats, Republican
and Americans, of the most respectable charac
ter in the township.
Win. Wittier was called to the chair, Andrew
Patrick and Andrew Donaldson, appointed
vice -Presidents, and Dr. C. W. Moore, Sec'ty,
Dr. Moore stated the intention of the meet

Me. Edwd. McHugh was called for, who de
livered the strangest argument in the most elo.
quest manner we ever heard, on the retaining
of the Three Mill Tonnage Tax, as now impo
sed on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Com
pany, which would have done 801110 gsod to
those who oppose these principles. Others
spoke of the indignant manner in which Mr.
Evans' private character had been encroached
upon by his opponents. The following pre
amble noJ resolutions were then offered and
adopted unanimously

• Our Last Appeal..
Fellow-Citizens, we have but one inure word
to address to you ; ere another week shall pass ,
you will be called upon to exercise one of the
highest privileges we as American citizens can
boast of. It becomes you, ns men knowing the
immense importance of a proper discharge of
the right of suffrage, to consider, calmly tied !
dispassionately, the issues involved, and the

1 Ono
Ono of the principal offices you will be called
I upon to fill is that of Assembly. The candi
dates for this °Mee are Levi Evaus, on the side
of the opposition to the luau for increased tax.
ation, Samuel Wharton and Daniel Houtz, the
speculators' candidates. The platforms of these
gentlemen are to be the rules whereby you are
to judge whether Or no they are worthy your
support. In regard to Wharton and Houtz
(we name them together, because their princi
ples tire the same) there can be no doubt flo to
I their positive favorable inclinations towards the
removal of the three mill tax from the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, the appropriation
of three millions of dollars to the Sunbury A
Erie Railroad, &c., whilst Mr. Evans opposes
these odious measures "first, last and all the
time." This being the case, let us examine
these issues. The three mill to., is, at the pre.
sent time n !tourer) of revenue to the Common
wealth, annually throwing into our Trearury
. some three hundred thonsand •dollars, until ns
r the business of the road increases, as it has Isom
year to year, will in less thou three years reach
L half a million of dell'•+. This tax was placed
, upon the Company by the State, partly in con
; lAA) et stfirth
and wholesome reasons. The removal of this
tax, therefore, it must lie evident to every man'
of common sense, would not only he a high
handed and outrageous wrong inflicted on the
State at large, but an every individual citizen
within her borders. Let us illustrate. The
expenses of the government has far many years
exceeded the receipts by a considerable amount.
This has been the ease with the revenue arising
from the three mill tax still pouring into - our
Treasury, and if this is so, what will be the re
sult should the tax he removed. The expen•
sex of government will have to be met, and
• how and where we ask, is this deficit of three
hundred thousand dollars to he madoup? There
is but one way, i. e. by increased taxation. This
must be evident to every thinking man. Col.
Samuel S. Wharton has pledged himself to sup
port an enactment releasing the Company from
the payment of this tax, and Dr. Houtz occu
pies the precise position. file. bowls has pledg
ed his word and honor as a Christian gentle•
man that he will oppose these measures with
all his ability, end at alttimes discountenance
every attempt to increase the heavy load din:c
ation which hangs over us. The appropriation
of three millions of dollars to the Sunbury &
Erie Railroad, is another Of the issues which
is presented in the present contest. This is
I so nearly allied to the removal of the three mill
tax that he who favors the ono embraces the
other. This scheme would plunge us still deep
er in debt and as a matter of course increase
our taxes.
Fellow-Citizens, what is your duty at this
? If you :ye honest in your opposition to
the above named enormities, how eau you sop.
port candidates who 'favor them ? If you arc
determined on releasing the State from debt,
and not the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
from an holiest tax, vote for the man who has
pledged himself to carry out your views.
VOTERS, TO THE POLLS!
In less than one week the great contest in
the State will take place. Are you ready for

election of LEVI EVANS. Will not the hen•

enemies are boasting in this borough that they
will overthrow Evans by means of
The Railroad Influence !
They openly boast that they can huMbug the
people of the county to vote fbr Wharton and
Houtz. Be oti your guard. To accomplish
their ends money is to be used, to attempt to

$7OOO in Mortgage Bonds
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has

to he used to hire individuals to ride through
every township, to circulate papers and circu

TO MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS,
pOCTOU BRAGG'S VIRGIN PILLS.
The essential ingredient of this valuable rem
edy is not new, but is well known in tho medi
cal schools of Franco and Gormmy, and has
been employed by she females of this principal
courts of burupe, and by all of the most distin
guished physicians in this speciality for the last
ten years. My motive is not to offer any pat
ent discovery, but simply, to present to the
mothers and daughters of our own land a simple
but sure remedy for those diseases to which
they nro naturall y subjected, in such a form as
should obviate the necessity of those medic,'
consultations, which are justly looked upon by
women as a violation of their most sacred feel
ings, and to avoid which they often risk the
most fearful consequences. _
_ .
I have therefore 'prepared this spenitle in tho
neat and simple form of it pill, and put it up in
small fiat boxes, which can ho safely sent any
distance by mail in a common envelope. Each
box is accompanied with full directions and ex
planations, enabling every woman to understand
her own case and the proper treatment and the
proper
'the Virgin Pills possesses such powerful,
penetrating properties, that none of the diseases
within the range of their action can withstand
or evade them. They cleanse, purify and in
vigorate every portion of the female organism,
correcting its diseased action, and restoring its
healthy functions. They effect a certain curd
for falling of the womb, whites, painful, sup
preseed and irregular menstruation, diseases of
pregnancy, all nervous complaints caused by
disordered uterine organs weakness,&c., the
symptoms of which ore fully explainein the di.
reetions.
For any of the diseases of tho reproductive
organs, .they may be taken at all times, except
ing during Wm earlier stages of pregnancy
when their °fleet would be such as to produce
miscarriages, which fact is more fully explain
ed in the directions. Their action in the system
will be felt immediately and the flush of rosy
beauty, the trttu telex or health, quickly rising
in the cheek of puler, will at once convince
the patient of these e ff ects..
